Tigers “My Favorite Things” Auction Is Full Of Midly Interesting Stuff

Rod allen away jersey

If you read Detroit4lyfe, most likely you are incredibly rich, attractive and you own many leather-bound books. The upcoming “My Favorite Things” auction the Tigers boo’s are running is something that should interest you greatly because, you know, you have a Scrooge McDuck gold coin pool as one of your rooms. Here I’ll break down the highlights of what you wealthy readers have the good fortune of bidding against me for. The entire list can be found here.

Auction Package #1: Galarraga, Avila, Rod Allen

1. Armando Galarraga. (1) Fierce Melon Gatorade, Card Magic-Professional Card Tricks, $20 gift card to Wunderworld Magic Shop and a practice shirt worn by Gaga. So, you get a drink, magic and laundry.

2. Rod Allen. Rod has a tremendous list mostly consisting of snacks, but Rod really spruces things up with Scrabble. I’m looking forward to Rod getting a lot of usage from that Scrabble board so hopefully Rod’s vocabulary will grow resulting in the 3rd edition of the Rod Allen drinking game being the best one yet. Rod’s biggest contribution is a Road ’84 Tigers Rod Allen jersey signed by the World Champion. Also, this counts as Rod mentioning his stint on the ’84 Tigers, so drink 8. I was very proud when I saw that D4L had featured a Rod Allen road jersey earlier this year.

Auction Package #2: Damon, Scherzer, Mario Impemba

1. Johnny Damon. A bottle of Jack Daniels is far and away the highlight. This might spice up the Rod Allen drinking game a couple thousand notches.

2. Max Scherzer. The highlights are the DVD of Swordfish and Call of Duty. Apparently this means Scherzer is as big a fan of Halle Berry topless as the rest of us at Detroit4lyfe. Also, the way Scherzer has been pitching recently has mirrored his videogame choice… He’s been pwning noobz on the field and the virtual battlefield recently.

Auction Package #3: Verlander, Kelly, John Keating

1. Justin Verlander. Big list here. My lowlight is the August 2010 issue of European Driving. Not sure if an issue of European driving would be the most popular thing in Detroit these days. “For Love of The Game” also makes his list which might be one of the more terrible movies ever made. Use of Verlanders personal suite with 18 tickets is also up for grabs as well as a golden ball from the homerun derby. Sadly, stealing a golden ball probably means $10,000 was taken away from charity.

2. Don Kelly. Don Kelly just got 4% cooler with the inclusion of Anchorman. So, that raises his coolness to 4%.

3. John Keating. One of Keats’ contributions is hairspray. Not sure if this means the movie, or actual hairspray. Either way, that’s still funny.

I just want the Rod Allen Jersey, so you bozo’s go right ahead and fight it out for auctions 2 and 3.
